Carmelo Anthony underwent surgery on his left knee, as well as a procedure on his elbow.

Anthony said it was the first time in his life he's had surgery.

"I did both of them," Anthony said about the surgery in May. "They were bothering me seven years."

Anthony said the procedures came at the same time. 

Anthony has been playing a barnstorming tour during the lockout and is four pounds lighter than he was during the 10-11 season.

"I would be coming back at training camp, if there is one, less than than I left last year," Anthony said. " I feel good mentally and physically. My mindset is about starting next week. That's where my mindset is at and body is at. Games are fun for charity, but at the same time we want to get something out of it."
